Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on UK Extradition Arrangements.
UK Extradition Arrangements
I rather agree with my hon. Friend about General Pinochet, not least as several of my friends were killed by his police force in Chile. My hon. Friend said that any sensible person would want to change the leeway allowed to the Secretary of State, but unfortunately the report that we are discussing this evening says:"““We note the arguments for increasing the role of the Secretary of State in the surrender of persons…We are not convinced that changes should be made””."
